Recess Records

Recess Records

Recess Records is an independent record label founded in 1989 with the release of F.Y.P's "Extra Credit", an 11 song 7-inch record. Label founder Todd Congelliere (frontman for F.Y.P and Toys That Kill) originally created the label as a vehicle to release F.Y.P's material. Congelliere promoted "Extra Credit" by running classified ads in Berkeley based Maximum Rocknroll fanzine and going to skateboard contests. He quickly sold his initial pressing of 500 copies. In between touring the U.S., Europe, and Japan, Congelliere began releasing records for fellow punk rock and DIY bands, eventually having a roster of close to 20 artists on his label. Pinhead Gunpowder, fronted by Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, announced in April 2008 that a new 7" single from the band will be released on Recess Records in late May 2008.Fact|date=May 2008
